Here's how the first NFL tryout for a female went:

Lauren Silberman, Female Kicker, Lasts 2 Kicks At NFL Regional Combine Tryout (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/03/lauren-silberman-female-kicker-nfl-combine_n_2803293.html)
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Lauren Silberman lined up for a kick at NFL history, took a deep breath and booted the football.
It barely went anywhere, traveling 19 yards, and she grabbed at her right leg.
Still, it was good enough to make her the first woman to try out at a regional combine, even if her day lasted all of two kicks.
With the 36 other kickers – all male – a handful of scouts and more than two dozen media watching in complete silence at the New York Jets' practice facility, Silberman struggled for about 20 seconds to place the football on the tee before measuring her steps and then trying that second kick.
This one went only about 13 yards.
She then asked to see a trainer and left the practice field after injuring her quadriceps, and appeared to be slightly favoring her right leg.
"They certainly didn't go as far as they were in practices," Silberman said, "but I tried to work through the pain."
So she was either so terrible she could only kick the ball 19 years, and then pretended to get hurt. OR She was so terrible she could only kick the ball 19 yards, and then blew out her leg in the process.
This whole thing could have been avoided had she been in the kitchen where she is supposed to be. My dinner isn't going to cook itself, sweetheart.
